Eddie Foster is on the card, but Clyde Engle is pictured. Both Zach (on his website) and the Standard Catalog note that several player poses in the Mothers' Bread set are images of other players.

I've noticed that in the case where the player is in the Mothers' Bread set but is not in the E106 nor D303 General Baking sets, the Mothers' Bread player images are of other players from the same fielding position in the E106 set.

Both Eddie Foster and Clyde Engle are third base, 3b.

Other players in the Mothers' Bread set but not in the E106/D303-GB sets include:
Felsch (Demmitt pictured, both are position c.f.)
Louden (Knabe pictured, both are position 2b.)
Meyer (Jacklitsch pictured, both are position c.)
Morgan (Doolan pictured, Morgan is 2b. and Doolan is s.s., but Doolan played 2b. and s.s.)
Weaver (Tinker pictured, both are position s.s.)

Here's a SABR article on Foster, who was, aside from being a good ballplayer, a very nice man.

Cheers,
Steve
